Please add something that gives bonus experience in agility. Need better agility rewards. Something that makes agility easier anything seriously jagex. An idea from RS3 was perfect the penance master horn from barbarian assault, where equipping it gave you double xp in agility, firemaking, and thieving. Please look into more xp for the agility skill.

For the amount of people that will be using the blast furnace at the same time, 60k is hardly anything. A lot of people wouldn't have a problem with just quickly paying that themselves, so they don't have to fight about divvying up the cost among everyone else. It should be at least doubled to 120k per hour IMO.

Pyromance outfit looks like a good idea plus many skill have already skiling outfit as long as it's not too easy to obtain.

The tome of fire would be a good idea if it has a magic requirement of 60. But i'm not a PVP player so maybe it would be too good in PVP i'll let expert decide.

Superior slayer: Yeah sure

Blast furnace: I say no, a BIG NO because we already have a good community for player run furnaces and this type of activities and those type of things are what makes OSRS a good MMO in my eyes players who redifines parts of the game. For exemple nobody wants NPC escort services in EVE Online others players and clan already do it

Ring of suffering charge with ring of recoil is too powerfull for me it's a no.

You should add new woodcutting axes obtainable though this mini game.

61 woodcutting level axe that requires 1 attack to wield. (Might hurt Dragon hatchet prices)

41 woodcutting level axe that requires 1 attack to wield.

Un-tradeable of course.


Or just a level 51 woodcutting hatchet.

Just think about it!

Thanks.

Addressing the blast furnace:

I think its more the fact that there is clans making millions a day hosting shifts. Im not sure the exact stats that are needed but I think its like 40 minimum to use pumps etc. Such low requirements to earn 2m/hour is insane when you consider 91 runecrafting is like 250hours and u make 1.5m/hour and I wouldn't be surprised if they viewed shift hosting as an exploit of some sort.

With the new proposed BF it would not only max efficiency but it would also be another gold sync which is good for the economy.

Should it be possible to own all Family Crest gauntlets simultaneously for a one-off fee of 500,000 coins?

Suggestion for change

Change it so we can pay the brothers to learn the ability to enhance the gloves ourselves instead, for like a 200k fee. Potentially a lesser fee with runes as a requirement. It would be a right click enhance option in both cases.

Why?

It doesn't make any sense to have multiple "family gloves" as they go from father to son.
And also you potentially don´t want all three versions of the gloves and can there for spend an lesser amount of money.

Ex-DonationBF worker here addressing the blast furnace poll question:

It should NOT be added. Adding dwarfs that run the blast furnace on the official world does technically fix the issue of crashers, but it only makes blast furnace worse. The reason BF clans exist and want the blast furnace crashing problem fixed so urgently is because
1: We DON'T WANT TO LET BOTS PROFIT OFF OF PEOPLE RUNNING BLAST FURNACE and
2: We want people to have a completely reliable way of doing blast furnace for x amount of time.

Adding dwarfs that run w58 fixes issue 2, but makes issue 1 MUCH worse. How it currently stands is clans pick a "private" world to run a timed "shift" and everyone that is in the CC/that sees the advertisements goes to that world. Even with this, bots still get in and world hopping has to happen. If you allow people to pay the "official" world to run with 100% uptime, not only does it allow bots to run the game 24/7 and invalidate any "gold sink" your creating with the payment per hour cost, but it INVALIDATES THE ENTIRE POINT OF THE BLAST FURNACE.

Blast furnace was created to have players run it so players reward from it. If you're going to completely break the point of BF, then in the long run wouldn't it be better simply to either redesign the minigame or make an entire new one? Why have it create "artificial" players by paying GP when you could say, lock it behind some quests or diaries or something so it stays the minigame but requires work to use it? What you're polling for BF is similar to breaking Pest Control in a way where you can simply pay GP for your void armor. Completely breaks the design and intention of the minigame. Sadly locking it behind quests/diaries won't make it uncrashable, but allowing artificial players by paying a gp amount(no matter how small or big the amount, because of how easy it is for bot farmers to get into BF and make an insane amount of GP/hour) makes botting worse.
